Kentucky Derby Benedictine Dip
A cool, creamy Louisville original from the early 1900s, Benedictine is a Derby Day classic. While the original recipes called for a splash of green dye, we skip that and keep it fresh with pureed cucumber, Smash Kitchen Real Mayonnaise, and a sprinkle of dill for an herby twist on this Southern favorite.
